Our History
Situated on the historic grounds of a former milling operation, Boulton House upholds a legacy of excellence dating back to the 19th century. Originally built by Hugh Boulton, the property stood as one of the region’s pioneering milling complexes throughout the late 1800s. Horace Brown and his sons later took ownership, introducing the community’s first roller-process flour mill.
In 1970, a devastating fire tore through the five-story grain elevator at the center of the building, bringing an end to the mill’s commercial feed and seed operations. Despite these challenges, the spirit of Boulton House endures—today serving as a beacon of culinary excellence and heritage.
Parking Scenario?
The stone complex is privately owned and operates as condominiums. As a result, the parking lot and property are not open to the public for river access. If you’d like to enjoy the scenic Mississippi River, we recommend a brief stroll to the nearby public park at the end of Mill Street—just before the single-lane bridge overpass.
For parking, you’ll find spots along the street, as well as a parking lot across the way.
